Feedback Sessions
We all know: Getting started on the right path is key when tackling a new project.
For that reason, every Junior Bowl team will receive a one hour training session where an experienced ethics bowl staff member will help your team through the ethics bowl-argument-building process. By the end of your session, teams will have acheived:
1.) A completed argument builder with moral dilemma analysis, supporting reasons, objections, and responses
2.) Extra ‘pro tips’ learned from hundreds of hours of ethics bowl experience
Students should expect the session to be:
A.) Intensive
B.) Rigorous
C.) Detailed
D.) Organized
To prepare for the session, and to maximize their time with the ethics bowl pro, teams should select one case to discuss during the session. This session is for argument building, not refining; in turn, minimal preparation from teams is required, though continuous student-participation during the session is required (and makes the experience more fun for everyone!)

The ethics bowl isn’t simply about helping students think abstractly about moral dilemmas, though that’s important. At its best, the bowl is really about enacting moments of personal and social transformation in the lives of actual, young people.
